use that as leverage? a growing chorus of lawmakers is arguing it's time to pull the plug on aid to egypt. >> when we threaten something, as we did that we would cut off aid, the administration did and then not do it, then you lose your credibility and your influence. >> we are going to have to suspend our aid. >> i do not see how we can continue aid. >> i do believe we have to change our aid. >> i think the actions of the last week, no doubt cause us to suspend eight. >> it's counterproductive and shows nothing but american weakness to continue it. >> i want to bring in michael crowley and ann garran. what is the calculus the white house is weighing this morning? >> is there a bipartisan call in congress to suspend aid. really as you pointed out in your introduction, chris, there isn't a ton of aid left to go this year out of 1.3 billion. it's something between 5 and 600 that is left so they could withhold some of that. it probably wouldn't have a great effect or immediate effect on the generals in cairo
